Start the Regeneration Cycle
Step 4
A. Press and hold the Regenerate button until the controller indicates 01 (flashing). The
regeneration cycle begins. During regeneration, water bypasses the appliance to allow iron
and sediment to wash down the drain through the following six-step process:
1. First Upflow Backwash—A rapid upflow of water flushes out the media bed.
2. Regeneration—Regenerant is drawn out of the solution cabinet and up through the
3. Slow Rinse—A slow upflow rinse process that flushes out the regenerant and iron.
4. Second Upflow Backwash—This upflow backwash flushes out any remaining
5. Downflow Clean Water Refill—Filtered water is directed to the solution cabinet to
6. Return to Service—Regeneration is complete after approximately 45 minutes and the

Step 5
A. To ensure reliable performance and optimum efficiency, program the regeneration cycle to
occur every one to fourteen days. Use the following worksheet to determine the appropriate
frequency for scheduling the regeneration cycle for your appliance. Use the example as a
guide.
B. On the controller, set the frequency and time of day for regeneration to occur. Follow the
instructions provided in Setting the Controller.
